This charming film from Enid Briggs starts with a girl walking her dog down a cliff path to the beach below. Family, friends and more dogs explore the beach against a backdrop of chalk cliffs. A girl exits a beach hut and joins two others for a dip in the sea. We then see a beachside family tea party after which a couple, wearing tennis whites, perform a comic ballet routine in the garden. Staying in the garden we see the family dog with a placard advertising a Minstrels performance.
